Category archive page

[mgiraud]

I’ve tried searching for the answer in the Forum since it must have been covered before, but I’m not finding it. My apologies if so.

I’m trying to customize the page you get when you click a category on the main blog page. What you should get is a list of all articles marked with that category. Is that a search-driven query? I can’t figure out the Looper provider query…

Any tips?

Hello Matt,

Thanks for writing in! By default, WordPress has a category and tag archive pages. Your “Insights” layout which is assigned to display the blog index can be extended to the archive pages as well. Simply add an OR logic to the conditions to be able to assign the layout to “All Archives”.

You do not need to run a Looper Provider on blog index and archive pages. All you need is a Looper Provider.

Hope this helps.

Ah, that’s great to know. And it works, too.

What I need to figure out how is how to make the UI change so you know what results you’re looking at. And ideally, suppressing the top section. thx!

Hi Matt,

You can resolve your issue in two methos:

Method 1:
You can simply duplicate the blog index layout and create a new archive layout which will be assigned for “All Archive” pages. On this new layout, you can use the Term Name and Term Description dynamic content to display the Archive Title and Archive Descriptions.

Method 2:

You can simply headline element and text element. The first one will be for the blog index and the other one will be for the archive pages which still be using the dynamic content as indicated in method #1. You can always show and hide the elements with the help of the conditions in each of the elements which can be found in the element settings.

Hope this makes sense.
